@thedadlab: QuickScience Part 6 - Moving water with a straw! Place a glass of water beside an empty one. Using a cut straw, trap some of this water and transfer one side of it to the empty glass. Watch as the water streams from one glass to another without pouring. But how does it work? This is the magic of a siphon in action! By trapping the water in the straw and then releasing it over the second glass, we allow gravity to pull the liquid down, while the atmospheric pressure pushes it from the first glass. Essentially, the water is being 'pulled' from one container to another through the straw. #QuickScience #scienceisfun #scienceexperiment #kidsactivities #sciencefun #stemactivities #scienceforkids #stemeducationforkids #stemeducation #stemforkids #kidsscience #kidsactivitiesideas
